Can you get big off Orals alone?

[Army of One]

Could one get big off say just Dianabol?Would you keep much mass after a few cycles?

There are a lot of factors in order for you to keep your mass after any cycle.

With d bol only, sure you would make gains as long as diet is in check, training hard, resting enough, etc...

Yes, you can definitely get big with oral steroids alone, you just have to know what you are doing. You have to take in consideration, drug half lifes, aromatization, dosage and most of all keep eating a lot of good food, train hard and sleep. (Just like you would have to without drugs.)

The reason guys here usually recommend testosterone based cycles is because it delivers good solid gains and the sides are more maintainable. Also, most guys wanting to take oral only cycles are usually the ones that have not trained long/hard enough and are looking for an "easy way out."

Ps. I'm not saying that you are one of those people...

The thing to consider on oral only cycles such as dbal or drol, etc...  you can definetly make great gains while on cycle. It is the post cycle that you need to be cautious of. If that oral only cycle caused a shutdown in HPTA then you will need to understand how to get your boyz working again.. otherwise gains will be lost.

The other thing to add is that orals cause the most stress on your body... stomach problems, liver and kidney issues, etc. This is why you do not see a lot of posts favoring oral only cycles. You can probably get away with it as a newbie for a little while... but this is something that could and most likely will catch up to you.

Yes its the toxicity that has to be considered.  If you wanna make any real gains on gear you need to stay on at least 16 weeks or so IMO.  And this long on a big load of orals would be hard on your system.
